- NUVA Digital raises US$5.2 million seed round led by Morgan Creek Digital to accelerate development of NUVA platform.
- NUVA was co-created by Animoca Brands and Nuva Labs to provide global access to institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs).
NUVA Digital, the software development company behind the RWA marketplace NUVA, today announced the successful closing of a US$5.2 million fundraising seed round led by Morgan Creek Digital. NUVA is the non-custodial, unified distribution layer for high-quality real-world asset (RWA) vaults. It offers users one-click access, enabling them to deposit stablecoins to mint liquid, composable tokens that deliver yield. NUVA ensures transparency and seamless DeFi composability with on-chain proof of reserves, without requiring minimum deposit requirements or lockups.
The fresh capital will accelerate development of the NUVA platform and fuel its growth, including expansion of the curated vault marketplace, additional issuer integrations, multi-chain deployments, institutional tooling, and preparation for the NUVA utility token launch. This funding marks a major milestone as NUVA transitions from early development to scaling total value locked (TVL) and user adoption in the rapidly expanding tokenized RWA sector.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: "Tokenized RWAs represent one of the most important opportunities in finance, with the potential to reach trillions of dollars in value within a decade by unlocking liquidity and accessibility for institutional-quality assets. NUVA’s marketplace model solves the fragmentation problem by creating a simple, unified experience where anyone can access top-tier RWA vaults. We are thrilled to support NUVA’s vision as we build toward a more inclusive, user-owned financial system."
“This seed round validates the strong demand for a neutral, operator-only platform that offers vaults from leading curators and asset managers without adding custody or origination risk,” said Anthony Moro, CEO of NUVA Digital. “NUVA is perfectly positioned to become the go-to marketplace for on-chain RWAs. The new funding will accelerate our roadmap to deliver a superior user experience, broader issuer participation, and powerful composability for NUVA vaulted assets across DeFi.”
